[ARCHIVED] Information Regarding Loss of Livestock Due to Recent Flooding

For livestock, there are two programs that can be of assistance in the case of flooding:

• Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) – This program provides benefits to livestock producers for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by adverse weather or by attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the federal government.

• Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP) – This program provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm raised fish for losses due to disease (including cattle tick fever), adverse weather or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires, not covered by LFP and LIP.

Please type this link, http://www.usda.gov/documents/fact-sheet-usda-programs-assist-individuals-small-businesses.pdf, for more information about the two programs. In addition, farmers and ranchers should also reach out to the Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) who will be able to assist in connecting producers to their local FSA office.
